One of my favorite traditions is having a tea party to celebrate Chinese New Year. This year, I decided to make black tahini swirled cookies and invited friends over to write our wishes and fortunes on slips of paper. I love how they ended up with a marbleized effect. The smokiness of the sesame goes perfectly with a steaming cup of oolong tea.

When thinking of aphrodisiacs to eat on Valentine’s Day, oysters immediately come to mind. But what if you don’t like raw oysters, or don’t know how to shuck them? Take the less intimidating route and prepare this sexy scallop ceviche for your hunny. Chiles and pomegranates are also said to be aphrodisiacs, and here they fit perfectly in the theme of everything pink.

Treat mom this Mother’s Day to a homemade brunch with doilies and all! A homage to all the great mother's out there, we wanted to make a brunch that is simple but displays the delicate and loving nature of a mother. These English pea pancakes are thin like lacey crepes and paired with that silky classic, crème fraiche. Topped with smoked salmon and roe and decorated with some edible flowers it’s a picture perfect meal for a world-class mother.
